Caterpillar reviews

Low ethics Low faith in the CEO and VP No security, regardless of skills and experience Benefit package declining Low moral between scared employees Focus is never on employees, always on th wallets of the upper management, who make up a large percentage of the stock holders Executive and upper management made poor decisions, but refused to take responsibility instead laying off those who had no control over the situation People with over a decade of experience were thrown aside all while the company hired new people. Experienced, WELL PERFORMING employees are let go without the benefit of seeing if they could move into one of the job openings. They don't even look at their past experience or performance within the company. The VP built a multi-million dollar house and the CEO rallied the board for a huge raise, then laid people off. They don't care. They sacrifice good hard working people, then attempt to brainwash current employees into believing it's ok because it will help them keep their jobs. I've been here over twenty years and I'm very sad about what this company has become since Brad and Doug took over.

Fear of layoffs and instability causes widespread fear among employees. As layoffs continue, word from upper management is that we want to increase "velocity". In other words, do things 2 times as fast with 1/2 of the staff since we just let them go. No lateral movement.
